ImpulsegamerSep 20253.1/5The Order of the Snake Scale succeeds more as a curiosity than a polished product. Its awkward controls and uneven writing hold it back, but its inventive camera system, eerie worldbuilding, and old-school puzzle design make it memorable. It's a compact, strange, and distinctive adventure that wears its retro inspirations proudly while trying new things. Players looking for polished combat or hand-holding may bounce off, but for fans of survival horror oddities and puzzle-driven mysteries, Happy Rock is worth visiting. At its affordable price, it's an easy recommendation to those who want something different, even if "different" sometimes comes with rough edges.
